Camping near Highlands, British Columbia
Highlands is a rural district municipality northwest of Victoria on southern Vancouver Island, sitting along the eastern shore of Saanich Inlet. It is one of the least developed of the West Shore municipalities, known for lakes, forested hills, and large blocks of protected parkland rather than commercial services. Shopping, groceries, and RV supplies are handled in the adjacent municipality of Langford, a short drive south.
The area is largely defined by its parks. Highlands contains large portions of Gowlland Tod Provincial Park, Mount Work Regional Park, and Lone Tree Hill Regional Park, and it borders Goldstream Provincial Park to the south. These form a near-continuous corridor of trails, viewpoints, and lakes accessible directly from campsites in the region.
RV renters typically base out of private parks along the Malahat corridor or the Trans-Canada Highway, or at Goldstream Provincial Park, then day-trip into Highlands trailheads. Nearby options include Malahat Mountain Meadows RV Park and Campground, Cedar Springs Resort, Goldstream Provincial Park, and Fort Victoria RV Park and Campground closer to the city.
Things to do near Highlands
Hiking is the primary draw. Gowlland Tod Provincial Park shares a common boundary with Mount Work Regional Park and offers an extensive trail network, with seaside access at McKenzie Bight and viewpoints on Jocelyn Hill. Mount Work itself has a summit trail through cedar forest, plus small freshwater lakes such as Durrance and Pease that are used for swimming in summer.
Inside Goldstream Provincial Park, trails cross old-growth Douglas fir stands and lead to Niagara Falls, a 47.5-metre cascade, and to the smaller Goldstream Falls near the campground. Families will find interpretive programs at the Goldstream Nature House and an accessible walking trail near the Visitor Centre.
Day trips are easy from any base in the area: downtown Victoria, the Malahat SkyWalk, the Cowichan Valley to the north, and the Brentwood Bay ferry across Saanich Inlet.

Summer, from late June through early September, is peak season on southern Vancouver Island. Days are warm and dry, and this is when private parks and Goldstream fill fastest, particularly on Canada Day, BC Day, and Labour Day weekends. Book well ahead for those dates.
Spring and fall are shoulder seasons with mild temperatures and steadily increasing or decreasing rainfall. Mid-October through early December brings the Goldstream salmon run, when chum return to the Goldstream River and draw bald eagles and thousands of viewers to the estuary. Wildflowers in the Garry oak meadows and arbutus stands are best from April into June.
Winter camping is possible but limited. Goldstream Provincial Park stays open year-round for self-sufficient campers at a reduced winter rate, though the sani-station and full services are not provided from roughly November through March. Private parks such as Malahat Mountain Meadows RV Park and Campground and Fort Victoria RV Park and Campground operate year-round with full hookups.

Our second time renting with Stanislav. Very responsive, flexible. RV is clean, well equipped, easy driving. Great!
Britt S. - Sep 2026
We went on our first RV trip as a family and had a fantastic time. The host was communicative and the RV was clean and worked really well. We will for sure rent again.

Mark70 trips - Joined Aug 2018
This was our second year renting with Mark! He is great to deal with and quick to respond. The trailer is well stocked with cooking supplies, and dishes for 4 people. Bed is comfortable and trailer is clean. We camped as 2 adults and 1 dog and it was the perfect size. We did dry camping (no power hook ups) and loved that the trailer had solar power and ran on propane so we could use the stove & fridge/freezer and charge our devices (and heat for those chilly fall nights on the ocean). Would definitely rent again! He was also flexible on the pick up and drop off time which was great as I ran a bit later than planned on delivery day.
Sarah K. - Sep 2026
Great communication, everything on-time and as expected. Mark and his trailer are both lovely.

How to book a site
Goldstream Provincial Park uses the BC Parks reservation system through Discover Camping at camping.bcparks.ca. Frontcountry sites can be booked up to three months in advance of the arrival date, while the two group sites, Prospector and Goldminer, are reservable up to one year ahead. When reservations are not available, sites function as first-come, first-served, and mid-week arrivals right after the 11 a.m. check-out often turn up openings in peak season.
Private parks are booked directly. Malahat Mountain Meadows RV Park and Campground, Cedar Springs Resort, and Fort Victoria RV Park and Campground all take reservations by phone or through their websites. Fort Victoria is RV-only with no tent camping, so tent travellers should plan on Goldstream or a mixed-use private park.
What to expect on the ground
Goldstream Provincial Park sits about 16 kilometres northwest of Victoria on the Trans-Canada Highway, with the campground accessed via Amy Road off Westshore Parkway. It has 173 vehicle-accessible sites in a forested setting with flush toilets, shower buildings, a sani-station, and an amphitheatre. Maximum stay in any BC provincial park is 14 nights per calendar year.
Private parks along the Malahat corridor offer 30- and 50-amp full hookups, laundry, and hot showers, with pull-through options for larger rigs. Fort Victoria RV Park and Campground has roughly 300 full-hookup sites about 9 kilometres west of downtown Victoria, with cable TV, Wi-Fi, and bus access into the city.
Bears use the Highlands and Goldstream area. Store food in your vehicle overnight, keep the site clean, and note that dogs must be kept out of the Goldstream River during the salmon spawn.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Highlands, BC
How much does an RV rental in Highlands cost, and when can I save the most?
RV rental in Highlands, BC is approachable for most budgets. Travel trailers typically list from around $90 to $175 CAD per night, while Class C motorhomes generally range from $200 to $325 CAD during peak summer. Because Highlands sits in the Greater Victoria region, demand peaks from late June through early September, so booking a shoulder-season Highlands RV trip in May, early June, or September can shave 20 to 30 percent off nightly rates. For a cheap RV rental in Highlands, filter by smaller travel trailers, look for hosts offering weekly discounts, and book at least 60 days ahead. Pro tip: midweek pickups (Sunday to Thursday) almost always cost less than Friday departures.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Highlands%2C%20British%20ColumbiaWhat kind of driver's license do I need to rent an RV in Highlands, BC?
Good news: a regular Class 5 BC driver's license (or your home province or country equivalent) is all you need to rent an RV in Highlands. There's no special RV endorsement or commercial license required for any of the motorhomes, campervans, or travel trailers on RVezy, even larger Class A and Class C rigs. You'll need to be 25 or older, and ID verification is done quickly through the RVezy platform when you book. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit and you're set. Most first-time renters are surprised how simple the paperwork is, so you can focus on planning the fun part.
www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation/driving-and-cycling/driver-licensing/classes-of-driver-licencesWhat protection comes with my Highlands RV rental?
Every RV rental in Highlands booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can head over the Malahat or into Goldstream with confidence. Protection plans cover physical damage to the vehicle during your trip, and you choose the coverage level that fits your comfort during checkout (hosts don't pick it for you). Coverage levels vary, so review the options before you confirm. Pro tip: review the coverage tiers on the checkout page, take time-stamped pickup photos with your host, and you'll be set up for one of the smoothest first-time Highlands RV trips possible.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Highlands RV trip?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy (not the host) sets the cancellation policy for every motorhome rental in Highlands, and there's a money-back grace period right after booking so you can lock in your dates with confidence. Depending on how far out from your trip you cancel, refunds or credits may apply, and host cancellations are always refunded or credited to you. Because the policy is platform-wide, you won't see different cancellation rules on different listings. Pro tip: book early to get the best rigs, then relax knowing RVezy has clear, traveller-friendly cancellation support if life changes your plans.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Highlands?
Absolutely, a pet-friendly RV rental in Highlands is easy to find: flip on the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you'll see plenty of hosts who welcome dogs (some allow cats too). Highlands is dog heaven, with leashed-pet trails through Lone Tree Hill Regional Park, Mount Work Regional Park, and most of Gowlland Tod Provincial Park. Many Capital Regional District beaches allow off-leash play outside summer hours, so check the CRD's regional parks pet rules before you go. Pro tip: message the host to confirm any pet fee, then pack a towel for muddy paws after a rainforest hike. Your pup will love a Vancouver Island RV trip as much as you do.
crd.bc.ca/parks-recreation-culture/parks-trails/rules-regulations/dogs-in-parksCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Highlands?
Yes, RV delivery in Highlands is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it's a game-changer if it's your first time renting an RV. Many local hosts will tow or drive the rig directly to your campsite at Goldstream Provincial Park, Bamberton Provincial Park, Weir's Beach RV Resort, or even a private driveway in the Highlands or Langford, then level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system. You skip the stress of backing a trailer down a winding West Shore road and start your trip relaxed. Pro tip: filter listings by Delivery and ask the host about their per-kilometre delivery fee, which is usually very reasonable within a 30 km radius.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038438933-Delivery-optionsHow far can I travel on a Highlands RV trip with the included mileage?
You can cover serious ground on an RV road trip from Highlands. Most hosts include between 100 and 200 kilometres per day, and many offer unlimited-mileage packages or generous flat-rate add-ons for longer trips. From Highlands you're about 20 km to Goldstream Provincial Park, roughly 80 km to Duncan, around 150 km to Parksville, and about 290 km to Tofino on the wild west coast. Pro tip: if you're planning a multi-stop Vancouver Island loop, ask the host upfront for an unlimited-mileage RV rental quote. It usually costs less than paying per-kilometre overages and lets you say yes to that spontaneous detour to Chemainus or Qualicum Beach.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Highlands%2C%20British%20ColumbiaWhere are the best campgrounds near Highlands for an RV?
You're spoiled for choice for RV camping in Highlands. Goldstream Provincial Park (about 10 minutes south) offers forested sites among old-growth cedars with hot showers and flush toilets. Bamberton Provincial Park, about 30 minutes north on the Saanich Inlet, has spacious family-friendly sites with warm-water swimming. Weir's Beach RV Resort in nearby Metchosin is right on the ocean, while Pedder Bay RV Resort and Marina has full hookups, a marina, and views toward the Olympic Mountains. For oceanfront on a budget, Island View Beach Regional Park sits about 25 minutes away near Saanichton. Pro tip: BC Parks reservations open up to four months ahead through camping.bcparks.ca, and summer Goldstream sites disappear quickly, so set a reminder.
bcparks.ca/goldstream-park/When is the best time of year for an RV trip from Highlands?
Highlands enjoys one of Canada's mildest climates, so the season is genuinely long. Late May through early October is prime, with daytime highs from 18 to 24 C and dry, sunny afternoons (July and August average just a few rainy days). Spring brings wildflower blooms in Gowlland Tod Provincial Park, while October delivers spawning salmon runs at Goldstream that are unforgettable. Winters are wet but rarely freezing, with January lows around 2 to 4 C, so off-season RV camping in Highlands is doable in a well-insulated rig. Pro tip: September is the local insider's favourite, warm water, empty trails, golden light, and noticeably cheaper nightly rates than peak July.

You're going to do great, even if it's your first time renting an RV. Every RVezy host gives a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through driving, hookups, the propane system, dumping tanks, and everything in between, and they're a quick text away during your trip. Highlands has winding rural roads like Millstream Lake Road and Finlayson Arm Road, so most renters choose a Class B campervan or a 22 to 26 foot Class C for easy handling, then stick to the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) for longer drives. Pro tip: ask your host to record a short video of the walkthrough on your phone so you can replay tank-dump steps later at the campground.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if something goes wrong on the road?
You're never on your own. Every RV rental in Highlands includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, covering things like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing if needed. RVezy's customer support team is also reachable around the clock, before, during, and after your trip. Your host is usually your fastest first call for quirky questions (like how to relight the water heater), and most respond within minutes. Pro tip: save the roadside assistance number and your host's number to your phone before leaving Highlands, and download offline Google Maps for the Pacific Rim Highway, where cell service drops between Port Alberni and Tofino.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionCan I take my Highlands RV rental across to the US or mainland Canada?
Cross-border travel is often possible with a Highlands motorhome rental, but you'll want to plan it right. Trips into the US (think Olympic Peninsula via the Coho Ferry from Victoria, or the San Juan Islands) are allowed by many hosts as long as you get written approval and confirm insurance coverage extends south of the border. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental. Mainland BC is wide open: hop the BC Ferries Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen run (about 35 minutes from Highlands) and you can explore Whistler, the Okanagan, or the Kootenays. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm cross-border permission, and budget for ferry reservations during peak summer.
bcferries.com/routes-fares/schedules/seasonal/tsa-swbWhat should I budget for fuel on a Highlands RV trip?
Fuel is the single biggest variable, but it's easier to plan than you'd think. Gas prices in the Victoria area typically sit between $1.65 and $1.95 CAD per litre, with stations in Langford (about 10 minutes from Highlands) usually a few cents cheaper than downtown. Expect roughly 18 to 22 L per 100 km for a Class C motorhome, 14 to 18 L per 100 km for a Class B campervan, and tow-vehicle-dependent figures for travel trailers. A weekend loop to Cowichan Lake and back might run $90 to $140 in fuel; a Tofino round-trip from Highlands closer to $250 to $350. Pro tip: GasBuddy and BC fuel price reports are great for spotting the cheapest pumps along Highway 1.
bcuc.com/our-work/regulatory-roles/fuel-price-transparencyHow far ahead should I book campgrounds near Highlands?
For the popular spots, book early and book strategically. BC Parks releases reservations through camping.bcparks.ca on a four-month rolling window, so Goldstream, Bamberton, and Gulf Islands sites for July or August should be grabbed the moment your window opens at 7 a.m. Pacific. Private parks like Weir's Beach RV Resort and Pedder Bay RV Resort take reservations 6 to 12 months ahead and fill fast for long weekends. Capital Regional District sites such as Island View Beach also need advance reservations in summer. Pro tip: if you missed the booking window, check BC Parks at 6 a.m. daily, cancellations pop up constantly, and shoulder-season weekdays are almost always available walk-up.
camping.bcparks.ca/What are driving conditions like around Highlands?
Highlands driving is scenic and very manageable for new RV renters. Local roads like Millstream Road and West Saanich Road are paved but narrow and curvy, so take it slow in a longer rig. The Malahat section of Highway 1 just north of Highlands climbs to 352 metres with steep grades and the occasional fog or winter snow, but it's well-maintained and patrolled. Summer brings ferry-day traffic on Highway 17 toward Swartz Bay, especially Friday afternoons. Winter tires or chains are required on most BC highways, including the Malahat, from October 1 to April 30. Pro tip: check DriveBC before any drive over the Malahat for real-time camera views and incident alerts.
www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation/driving-and-cycling/traveller-information/seasonal/winter-driving/winter-tire-and-chain-up-routesWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near Highlands?
Local campgrounds range from rustic to resort-style. Goldstream Provincial Park has hot showers, flush toilets, and potable water but no hookups, perfect for self-contained motorhomes. Bamberton has similar amenities plus a swim beach. Private parks like Weir's Beach RV Resort and Pedder Bay RV Resort and Marina offer full 30-amp electrical, water, and sewer hookups, dump stations, laundry, and Wi-Fi. For dump stations and fresh-water fills between sites, the Sani-Dump at Goldstream and stations in Langford are the closest reliable options. Pro tip: top up your fresh water tank before leaving Langford, the next reliable potable fill heading north toward Cowichan Lake is over an hour away.
bcparks.ca/goldstream-park/camping/What's typically included inside an RV rental in Highlands?
Most Highlands RV rentals come ready to camp out of the box. Expect a full kitchen with stove, fridge, sink, and microwave; a wet or dry bathroom with toilet and shower; sleeping for 2 to 8 depending on rig size; seatbelts for every passenger while driving; and a furnace, with air conditioning and often a TV. Many hosts also include linens, pots and pans, and camp chairs; campervan rental Highlands options often add bikes, paddleboards, or surfboards. Generator or solar setups are common in Class B and Class C rigs for off-grid stays. Pro tip: check each listing's amenity list closely and message the host if you want to confirm specifics like a French press, high chair, or rooftop tent.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Highlands%2C%20British%20ColumbiaWhat add-ons and pickup options can I expect on RVezy listings?
Highlands hosts offer flexible options to make your trip easier. Popular add-ons include bedding and towel packages, kitchen kits, generator usage, propane refills, bikes, kayaks, and BBQs. Most pickups happen at the host's home in Highlands, Langford, or View Royal, but many hosts also offer delivery to campgrounds throughout southern Vancouver Island for a per-kilometre fee. Mileage policies vary by listing, with 100 to 200 km per day typical and unlimited-mileage add-ons available on many rigs. Pro tip: bundle add-ons like bedding, kitchen, and delivery into one host conversation before booking, you'll often get a better all-in rate than adding them piecemeal later.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Highlands%2C%20British%20ColumbiaHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is straightforward and protected. You pay through RVezy's secure checkout with a credit card, never directly to the host, and the platform holds funds until your trip starts. A refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card before pickup and is held separately from your booking payment; it's released back to you after drop-off, assuming the RV is returned in the same condition. To avoid surprises, do a thorough walkaround with your host at pickup and drop-off and take time-stamped photos and a short video. Pro tip: keep fuel and propane topped to pickup levels, dump tanks before return, and your full deposit comes back without a hitch.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksAre RV rentals available in Highlands during winter?
Yes, winter RV rental in Highlands is genuinely doable thanks to Vancouver Island's mild coastal climate. Daytime temperatures from November through February usually sit between 4 and 9 C, with rare snow that melts quickly, perfect storm-watching weather on the west coast at Tofino or Sooke. Look for hosts who list their rigs as four-season, with heated holding tanks, an enclosed underbelly, and a propane furnace. A limited number of campsites at Goldstream Provincial Park stay open year-round at a reduced winter rate, and many private parks offer shore-power sites that keep you cozy. Pro tip: ask your host about winterization status before booking November to March, and pack rain gear; storm-watching in a warm RV is a quintessential Highlands winter experience.
